Becky,
The Houston Children's Museum has a version (the version?) of the music box you are describing. It's a blast. One of the better devices I have seen and played with. It is part of their traveling Cyberchase exhibit. I was a subcontractor for a few exhibits in their new expansion and at 3 in the morning during installation when my eyes wouldn't focus anymore I went and played with it. There may be images on their cyberchase exhibit pages.
